"You ascribe to a party that doesn’t believe that contraception should be readily available and covered by health insurance. Period. Yet, if by chance, your daughter becomes pregnant because of lack of access to birth control, the Republican Party believes she must endure an ultrasound of her lady parts to shame her for what she did. Worse yet, if, God forbid she was raped, not only does she have to live with the emotional, and possibly physical, scars of rape, but also with the pregnancy from her rapist. (Unless, of course, you believe that rape “shuts down” the possibility of pregnancy.) It’s also too bad if she has a life threatening hemorrhage while pregnant, that unborn life is worth more to the Republicans than your daughter’s (until it’s born, of course). You believe in the party of “small government”, unless it’s about a woman’s private parts. Then you are for a government as large as a trans-vaginal ultrasound. Extreme.
Explain that to your daughter."
